The Top 5.5 Quick Service Disney Resort Restaurants – Chosen by Our Fans!

There is more to a Disney vacation than riding rides and waking up at 5 a.m. to get ready to ride more rides. With so many fabulous resorts on Disney property, many visitors build time into their schedule to visit resorts where they are not staying to see the sites. Disney has an “open resort policy,” where visiting the resorts is allowed and encouraged. Parking is free for now, but that may change in the future.

Visiting with the intentions of having a meal is a great way to fill an afternoon, most especially if you don’t have park tickets or just to give yourself a break mid-vacation from the crazy pace of roller coasters and large crowds.

But where should you go? We asked our Cheapskate Princess Facebook Fans to tell us their favorite resorts for a quick service dining experience that wouldn’t break the bank but give you enough Disney magic to make the visit memorable. Of course, good food was another reason people listed their favorite as well. This list can also be helpful when choosing the resort you would like to vacation in.

So with a tie at number three, here are the fan’s Top 5.5 Disney World Quick Service Resort dining locations.

And there you have six restaurants our Cheapskate Princess Facebook Fans felt were the best locations to grab a quick bite to eat while staying at or just visiting the Disney Resorts. These may not be everyone’s favorite restaurant choices, we realize that. My personal favorite resort for a quick meal is the Contemporary, but that didn’t even get enough votes to make this particular list. But I always think it’s a good idea to take more than one person’s opinion anyway.
